Since 7 is greater than 5, you input it into the last equation.
2•(7) -7
14-7
7
The answer is 7!
Answer: x + y = z
Example:
Lets say if x 5 and y is 10 then z would equal 15.
5 + 10 = 15
Hope this helped! :)
Divide the amount of commission made by the total sale, then multiply the decimal answer by 100 for the percent:
175 / 5212 = 0.03357
0.03357 * 100 = 3.357%
Round the answer as needed.
X= weight of TV
y= weight of CD
3x+5y= 62.5
3x+ 2y= 52
You can either solve for a variable, or eliminate a variable by subtracting the second equation from the first:
3x + 5y = 62.5
-(3x+2y = 52)
0 + 3y = 10.5, so y = 10.5/3 or 3.5.
Now plug y= 3.5 back into any equation to get x:
3x + 5(3.5) = 62.5
3x + 17.5 = 62.5
3x = 45
x = 15
Always check work. Both equations should be true for x=15, y= 3.5
